“Concerts in India 2026 are shaping up to be bigger than ever, with Guns N’ Roses, Anyma, Fred again.., The Chainsmokers, Gorillaz and other major international artists set to perform across the country.”
India’s concert calendar is about to get very crowded.
Between September 2026 and January 2027, the country is set to host Guns N’ Roses, Anyma, Fred again.., The Chainsmokers, Gorillaz and Foo Fighters, alongside established festivals such as Ziro Festival of Music, Sunburn and Jodhpur RIFF. The schedule stretches from Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh to Mumbai, Bengaluru, Guwahati and Delhi-NCR, giving fans a run of major international tours as well as Indian music festivals.
For fans, the result is simple: there are now several genuinely major concerts to plan around.

Dates and venues are based on current artist, promoter, ticketing and event listings; some festival and ticketing details can change, so readers should check the linked booking pages before travelling.
Guns N’ Roses Are Taking the Rock Route Beyond the Usual Cities
Guns N’ Roses will play Bengaluru on November 14 and Guwahati on November 17, according to the band’s own announcement. The shows are part of the group’s Asia leg, and the official tour page lists Nice Grounds in Bengaluru and Khanapara Veterinary Ground in Guwahati.
Anyma Is Bringing an Audiovisual Show to Mumbai
On November 21, Anyma’s ÆDEN will take over Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Anyma’s official event page describes the production as a fully immersive audiovisual experience featuring new music and previously unseen visuals.
BookMyShow currently lists the event from ₹4,250.
This is not being marketed as a routine club DJ set. The production is part of Anyma’s larger visual universe, which uses technology, narrative and large-scale stage design alongside electronic music.
December Could Be India’s Busiest Concert Month
If one month deserves a warning on the calendar, it is December.
Fred again.. is making his India debut, with shows scheduled across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru. BookMyShow lists the Delhi-NCR event for December 5 at Leisure Valley Ground, Mumbai dates around December 8–9 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse and Bengaluru dates around December 12–13 at NICE Grounds. Current listings show the tickets as sold out and prices beginning at ₹1,750.
The event is also 18+, and BookMyShow’s ticket information says re-entry is not permitted and tickets are issued as mobile tickets.
Then comes the Sunburn Festival, scheduled for December 18–19 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai. Sunburn’s official page confirms the dates and venue and identifies Spacebound as the organiser.
The Chainsmokers are also attached to India’s December concert calendar, with current event listings showing a Mumbai appearance at Sunburn Festival on December 18, a Delhi appearance on December 19 and a Sunburn Arena show in Bengaluru on December 20.
That creates a remarkably dense run of electronic-music events within days of one another.
January 2027 Has Two Major Firsts
January is where the calendar gets even more interesting.
Gorillaz will make their India debut with two shows: January 23 in Bengaluru at District Arena @ Terraform and January 27 in Mumbai at Jio World Garden, BKC. The tour is part of The Mountain campaign, following the band’s ninth studio album, released in February 2026.
The album has a direct Indian connection. It features collaborations with artists including Anoushka Shankar, Ajay Prasanna, Asha Puthli, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash. The album was also recorded across Indian cities including Mumbai, New Delhi, Jaipur, Rishikesh and Varanasi.
Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett have both spoken about bringing the project to India. The 2027 shows are therefore more than a conventional tour stop; they follow an album that was already deeply connected to the country.
Just two days after the first Gorillaz show, Foo Fighters will arrive in Bengaluru on January 29 before performing in Mumbai on January 31. The band is making its India debut with the two-city tour. Foo Fighters are 15-time Grammy winners and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, according to reporting around the announcement.
January 2027 India Concert Calendar
| Date | Artist | City | Venue |
| Jan. 23 | Gorillaz | Bengaluru | District Arena @ Terraform |
| Jan. 27 | Gorillaz | Mumbai | Jio World Garden, BKC |
| Jan. 29 | Foo Fighters | Bengaluru | Bengaluru LIVE |
| Jan. 31 | Foo Fighters | Mumbai | Mahalaxmi Racecourse |
The four dates mean Bengaluru and Mumbai will effectively become the centre of India’s international rock and alternative circuit for the final week of January.
India’s Festival Circuit Is Getting Bigger Too
The major stadium-style names are only part of the story.
Ziro Festival of Music will run from September 24–27 at Ziro Festival Ground in Biiri, Arunachal Pradesh. Its official ticketing page lists day tickets between ₹3,700 and ₹5,300, while the four-day festival pass is ₹11,200. The festival describes itself as a gathering of independent artists, music fans and communities of the Ziro Valley, with a focus on cultural diversity and sustainability.
Jodhpur RIFF follows in October, running from October 22–26 at Mehrangarh Fort. Current festival reporting describes a five-day programme built around Rajasthani folk, roots and international music, with more than 250 artists expected across the festival.
Bengaluru meanwhile gets Bangalore Open Air on October 10, with current lineup reporting naming Carcass, Paradise Lost, Thy Art Is Murder and The Ocean among the acts.
The range is telling. Fans can now choose between giant international rock tours, immersive electronic productions, metal festivals, independent music and destination festivals without leaving India.
What Fans Should Watch Before Booking
The biggest practical issue with a fast-moving concert calendar is that information changes.
Ticket prices sell out. Extra dates appear. Venues can change. A concert listing can also remain online after tickets have moved to another platform.
For example, Fred again..’s current BookMyShow pages show different date ranges for the Mumbai and Bengaluru events, while the support information still records the original three-city announcement. That is exactly why concert-goers should check the current authorised ticketing page before making travel or hotel bookings.
For the same reason, this calendar should be treated as a live guide rather than a static list. Guns N’ Roses has already officially confirmed its two Indian dates; Anyma has confirmed its Mumbai show directly; Sunburn has published its festival schedule; and Ziro has opened official ticket sales.
India’s concert boom is no longer just about one giant artist arriving every few years. The numbers point to a much larger live-events economy, while the 2026–27 calendar shows how quickly the country’s cities and festivals are becoming part of the international touring map. For fans, the immediate problem is a better one: deciding which show to buy tickets for first.
